Woven textile

ABSTRACT

A woven textile defines a horizontal direction and a longitudinal direction. The woven textile includes a first section, a second section, and a third thread. The first section includes at least one first thread. The first thread extends wavily. The second section includes at least one second thread. The second thread extends wavily. The first section and the second section are aligned along the longitudinal direction and partially overlap to form an overlap section. The third thread extends along the horizontal direction and binds with the first thread and the second thread inside the overlap section. Each of the first thread and the second thread is a filament integrally formed of TPU.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a woven textile.

Description of the Prior Art

Woven textile is used widely. For example, clothes, shoes, and dailycommodities are often made by woven textile. However, how the woventextile is woven, the material, and the design determine thecharacteristics of the woven textile.

In general way to weave, the maximum size of mesh is limited. To give alarger mesh, some difficult skills such as skipping are used, and thestructure strength is reduced.

Besides, the elasticity at two perpendicular directions in a generalwoven textile usually vary because of the direction of weaving. That is,the elasticity in one direction may be too good to make the woventextile easy to deform.

On the other hand, the filament of conventional woven textile has alarge resilience along the radial direction, so the filament deformsheavily at the knotting portion or the overlap portion so that the woventextile has a flat appearance. Thus, the conventional woven textile hasa bad permeability and cushion.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide woven textilehaving a better tolerance of extension. In addition, the filament is noteasy to deform radially, and a larger thickness can be achieved.

To achieve the above and other objects, the woven textile of the presentinvention defines a horizontal direction and a longitudinal direction.The woven textile includes at least one first section, at least onesecond section, and at least one third thread.

The at least one first section includes at least one first thread. Theat least one first thread extends wavily. The at least one secondsection includes at least one second thread. The at least one secondthread extends wavily. The at least one first section and the at leastone second section are aligned along the longitudinal direction andpartially overlap to form an overlap section. The at least one thirdthread extends along the horizontal direction and binds with the atleast one first thread and the at least one second thread inside theoverlap section. Each of the at least one first thread and the at leastsecond thread is a filament integrally formed of TPU (ThermoplasticPolyurethanes).

The present invention will become more obvious from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferredembodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the woven textile of the presentinvention defines a horizontal direction and a longitudinal direction.The woven textile includes at least one first section, at least onesecond section, and at least one third thread 30.

The at least one first section includes at least one first thread 10.The at least one first thread 10 extends wavily. The at least one secondsection includes at least one second thread 20. The at least one secondthread 20 extends wavily. The at least one first section and the atleast one second section are aligned along the longitudinal directionand partially overlap to form an overlap section. The at least one thirdthread 30 extends along the horizontal direction and binds with the atleast one first thread 10 and the at least one second thread 20 insidethe overlap section. The at least one third thread 30 is made ofartificial sinew or TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes). Each of the atleast one first thread 10 and the at least second thread 20 is afilament integrally formed of TPU.

In the present embodiment, the woven textile includes a plurality ofsaid first sections, a plurality of said second sections, and aplurality of said third threads 30. The first sections and the secondsections are arranged alternately along the longitudinal direction.Adjacent said first sections and said second sections partially overlap.Specifically, each of the first threads 10 has a plurality of firstcrest portions 11 and a plurality of first trough portions 12alternately arranged. Each of the second threads 20 has a plurality ofsecond crest portions 21 and a plurality of second trough portions 22alternately arranged. The first crest portions 11 positionallycorrespond to the second crest portions 21. The first trough portions 12positionally correspond to the second trough portions 22. The firstcrest portions 11 of each of the first threads 10 partially overlaps thesecond trough portions 22 of adjacent said second thread 20. The firsttrough portions 12 of each of the first threads 10 partially overlapsthe second crest portions 21 of adjacent said second thread 20.Preferably, the first crest portions 11 and the second crest portions 21are arranged along the longitudinal direction. The first trough portions12 and the second trough portions 22 are arranged along the longitudinaldirection. Two ends of each of the first crest portions 11 along thehorizontal direction are located under and above the second troughportions 22 of adjacent two second threads 20 respectively. Two ends ofeach of the second crest portions 21 along the horizontal direction arelocated under and above the first trough portions 12 of adjacent twofirst threads 10 respectively. That is to say, each of the first crestportions 11 or each of the second crest portions 21 (or each of thefirst trough portions 12 or each of the second trough portions 22) issandwiched by adjacent second thread 20 or first thread 10 obliquely.Besides, a thickness direction is defined perpendicular to both thehorizontal direction and the longitudinal direction. The woven textilehas a maximum thickness at the overlap section. The maximum thickness islarger than twice a diameter of each of the first threads 10 and alsolarger than twice a diameter of each of the second threads 20.Specifically, the maximum thickness is defined as a maximum distancebetween two ends of the first crest portion 11 (or the first troughportion 12, or the second crest portion 21, or the second trough portion22) along the thickness direction. On the other hand, a diameter of eachof the third threads 30 is smaller than one fifth a diameter of each ofthe first threads 10 and the second threads 20.

Because the first thread 10 and the second thread 20 extend wavily andare filaments integrally formed of TPU, the woven textile has a bettertolerance of extension and resilience. The third thread 30 provides arestriction of extension along the horizontal direction so that thefirst thread 10 and the second thread 20 are prevented from deformingBesides, the TPU filament has a smaller deformation along the radialdirection (as shown in FIG. 2A), so the filament may not shrink whenknotting to make the woven textile flat. On the contrary, the overlappedTPU filaments provide a larger thickness to have a three-dimensionalstructure. Thus, the woven textile is advantageous in permeability,cushion, structure strength, and resistance of abrasion to be used invariable fields.
